Is it Easter yet?

Hello, and welcome!

Everybody in the Secret Pals forum on Paper Craft Planet seems to be obsessed with all things chocolate, and I'm really cravin' some......milk, dark, white, flavoured.....anything will do.....but a HUGE Easter egg would be very welcome, right now!
Not even a choc chip cookie in the house....and it's Sunday, and we don't spend money on Sunday.....so I'm havin' serious withdrawals, here..........Boy!....sound like an addict, but I actually probably only have chocolate maybe once a week......unless I can snag a bite of something the grandkids are scoffin', lol!

It's Hannah's actual birthday***HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPANNER***...and we always get the family together, on a birthday, for cake and hugs.....and I'm hopin' the cake will have some element of CHOCOLATE about it, lol!!!

On to my latest  card, then.................


There are a lot of Easter challenges in blogland, so I made this with some challenges in mind.......
the DP is from a free pack that came with my magazine (I really like this pack, and you'll probably see it again)....and I cut three strips and mounted them onto a pale green textured base card from Craftwork Cards.......cut a pice of orange Bazzil with my Martha Stewart lacy punch, and added a strip of the same paper I used on the egg, then added a strip of pink polka dot ribbon.....did a bit of faux stitchin'.......

I love this cute stamp!  I won it at Paper Pretties and think it is funny and cute.....has to be a winner then, lol.......
I paper-pieced the eggshell.....not done that for a while, and had forgotten how much I like it!  Little chuck is coloured with PMs........



I have huge amounts of these Prima flowers and they seemed just right for a bright and breezy Easter card....I like the look of the Card Candi, in the centres, too.........

Look at that ickle feathery bum! (bottom for those of you not British, lol)

`Found these little buttons in my stash.....job done!

Love the comments you leave........hope you like enough to leave one, lol!

  1. WOW Anne-Marie - that little chick is so darn cute and the way you used it... :o)
    By the way - am I the only one not obsessed with chocolate among the SPAG women? I only eat it in December rest of the year.......come to think of it: have untouched chocolate in the cupboard for quite a while now.

    Hoping Hannah has a great birthday and you get lots of chocolate cake with buttercream flowers (best part if you ask me.) Love the card - stamp is too cute and the entire thing looks like you did a boatload of work. You make it sound so simple. Patting your back.
